    Large-scale characterization of cocaine addiction-like behaviors reveals that escalation of intake, aversion-resistant responding, and breaking-points are highly correlated measures of the same construct

    Giordano de Guglielmo, Lieselot Carrette ... Olivier George
    Genetically diverse rats reveal a single underlying construct linking key addiction-like behaviors, challenging compulsivity as an independent measure, and offering a new perspective on vulnerability and resilience to addiction.

    Bacterial Warfare: Toxins, mutations and adaptations

    Maarten De Jong, Neal M Alto
    The toxins that some bacteria secrete to kill off rival species can also generate mutations that help toxin-resistant populations adapt to new environments.

    Sex-dependent, lateralized engagement of anterior insular cortex inputs to the dorsolateral striatum in binge alcohol drinking

    David L Haggerty, Brady K Atwood
    Engagement of anterior insular cortex projections to the dorsolateral striatum underpins sex-differences in binge alcohol consumption behaviors.

    Membrane insertion of α-xenorhabdolysin in near-atomic detail

    Evelyn Schubert, Ingrid R Vetter ... Stefan Raunser
    Cryo-EM and X-ray structures of α-xenorhabdolysin in soluble and pore form of Xenorhabdus nematophila give novel insights into the mechanism of action of bi-component α-pore-forming toxins.

    Bordetella adenylate cyclase toxin is a unique ligand of the integrin complement receptor 3

    Radim Osicka, Adriana Osickova ... Peter Sebo
    A toxin produced by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis preferentially binds to non-activated integrin complement receptor 3 outside of its ligand-binding I-domain and efficiently blocks downstream signaling of the integrin through elevation of cytosolic cAMP.
